Read on Ao3

You’re clearing up after dinner when the lights start to flicker. The mid-summer storm outside has been raging for the better part of an hour and shows no signs of slowing.

“Harry…babe!” you call, trying to catch your oblivious boyfriend’s attention. He was the one who insisted on moving into this Muggle house in a Muggle neighborhood powered by Muggle electricity. He should be the one to fix this.

“HARRY!” you bellow, as the lights flicker again.

“Bloody Merlin, what, Draco? Stop shouting!” he says, breezing into the kitchen as if your concern about the lights is entirely unfounded and you are overreacting...again.

You roll your eyes and fight a smile as he wraps his large hands around your hips, pushing you into the edge of the sink and trailing the edge of your jumper in the soapy water that’s escaped the basin.

You yelp when the lights flicker a final time before going off for good.

“What, love, afraid of the dark?” Harry teases against the nape of your neck.

You scoff and push him off, opening your mouth to retort before two tiny squeals reverberate from somewhere overhead.

“Oh, here we go..” you say, as two sets of small feet thunder down the stairs and through the sitting room. You wonder, for probably the millionth time, how two such small creatures can be so very loud. You were never that loud. Then again, if you had been, the consequences would have been... You’re secretly grateful for their noise.

“Dad, dad, dad, dad…”

“Scorpius, Scorpius, Scorpius, Scorpius…” you reply, scooping your son up into your arms.

“The lights have gone.”

“Have they? I hadn’t noticed,” you respond, drily, plopping Scorpius firmly back onto his feet.

“Careful, cub, stop running--you’re going to run straight into the table, or a wall…” Harry says, gripping Teddy by the shoulders to steady him in the dim kitchen. The only light comes from the streetlamp in the alleyway out back and the rapid flashes of lightning slicing through the sky.

“Harry...Scorp and I have just started on a Lego dragon, can you come light the lamps with your wand or something?” Teddy whines, tugging at Harry’s shirt like he’s two instead of twelve.

“Hmm...I have a better idea,’ Harry says. You recognize the look in his eyes, it’s the one that always precedes mischief.

“Scorp, you remember where we keep the marshmallows? Great, grab those...and the graham crackers!” Harry calls after Scorpius as he darts into the pantry.

“What are you up to?” you ask, poking a finger into Harry’s side.

“A time-honored Muggle tradition...you’ll like it, you’ll see.”

Harry insists you all forgo the perfectly good couches you spent days picking out and sit on the cushions he’s conjured on the sitting room floor. He arranges you in a circle around a conjured flame, floating in a shallow bowl.

“Mmm, we should turn the lights off more often, dad!” says Scorpius sliding several sticky fingers between his lips. He’s chosen to entirely ignore Harry’s careful s'more making instructions in favor of fitting as many charred marshmallows into his mouth at once as he can manage.

“Okay, okay, Scorp, take a breather, yeah?” you say, grabbing his hand and trying to clear the sugary cobweb from between his fingers with a napkin. “They’re never going to sleep, now, Potter, and I hold you solely responsible.”

“Come onnn, Draco, don’t be such a buzzkill!” Teddy groans around his own s’more, chocolate smeared around the corners of his mouth.

“Yeah, Draco, don’t be such a buzzkill!” Harry echoes. You glare at him as you respond to Teddy.

“Edward, I don’t know where you pick up these phrases, but I assure you I am not a buzzkill. I’d just like to get some sleep sometime this century.”

“Okay, okay, everyone shh…” Harry cuts in. “I’ve got a story for you.”

Scorpius wriggles on his cushion next to you, giddy from the sugar high and hanging on Harry’s every word. You place a hand on the top of his head to settle him.

Harry leans over the little conjured flame, shadows playing across his face and his eyes glinting behind his glasses.

“Once upon a time, there were two boys,” he begins, poking Scorpius in the tummy and setting off a cascade of giggles.

“Once upon a time,” he tries again, “there were two boys who were driving home from the movie theatre.”

“Who was it??” squeals Scorpius. “It’s me and Teddy, right??”

“Can’t be, Harry won’t teach me how to drive,” Teddy huffs.

“Ted, you’re twelve, twelve-year-olds can’t even get their permit…” you start.

“Ssssssshh…” Harry silences you with a raised hand. “Yes. One dark and stormy night, Teddy and Scorp were driving home from the movie theatre.”

“What film were we seeing? Was it Toy Story, Harry?” Scorpius whispers as if he’s trying to respect Harry’s request for silence but he desperately needs to know.

“Yes, love, it was Toy Story,” Harry whispers back. “So, Teddy and Scorpius decide to drive up to the top of a very tall hill overlooking the city.”

“Why?” asks Teddy.

“Why not, Ted, let him finish or we’ll be here till next weekend,” you scold, tossing a marshmallow that bounces off of Teddy’s nose. Teddy scoffs but pops the marshmallow into his mouth.

“As Teddy and Scorpius sit, taking in the beautiful view, an emergency news bulletin comes across the wireless.” Harry covers his mouth with one hand to muffle his voice and affects a newscaster’s cadence, “Breaking news, breaking news! A very dangerous convict has escaped from the local prison. We urge all citizens to be on the lookout, the man is missing one hand, and in its place he has….” Harry pauses for dramatic effect before leaning forward, hands raised, “a hook!”

“Coooooool…” interjects Teddy.

“Harry, where is this going?” you hiss as Scorpius climbs into your lap. Harry flaps the fingers of one hand at you dismissively, and you have half a mind to bite them.

“Harry, why does he have a hook instead of a hand?” Scorpius asks.

“I don’t know, Scorp, he had an accident.”

“And...the Healers couldn’t regrow his hand?”

“No, he isn’t a wizard so he can’t see the Healers.”

“Why is it a hook now, though?”

“Ummmmm, I don’t know. He thought it would be cool like Teddy does.”

“Oh.”

“Sshh, Scorp! I want to hear more about the guy with a hook for a hand!” says Teddy as he flicks Scorpius on the shoulder.

“Ow! You sssh, Ted, you’re the one who interrupted first!”

“Anyways,” Harry says firmly, planting his palms on his thighs. “The man on the radio tells everyone listening that they should alert the authorities immediately if they see a man with a hook for a hand. He’s a very dangerous murderer and won’t hesitate to kill anyone he encounters.”

“Wicked!” cries Teddy.

“One boy says to the other--”

“Scorpius and Teddy!”

“Yes, Scorpius says to Teddy: I don’t like the sound of that, we should probably go home!” Harry says, lowering his voice to a register far deeper than you’ve heard any five or twelve-year-old speak in. Scorpius just giggles and squirms about in your lap.

“Oh, don’t be silly, that man with a hook for a hand will never climb up this big hill!” Harry says, raising his voice about ten octaves. You wince as his voice cracks on the word never.

“Oi! I don’t sound like that!” objects Teddy. You hit him with another well-aimed marshmallow.

“JUST THEN,” Harry shouts across the giggling and shouting, causing everyone to fall silent, “both boys heard the faintest scratching noise just outside the driver’s side window...almost like...the sound of a hook...scraping across metal….” Harry waggles his eyebrows.

“OH NO! THE MAN WITH THE HOOK! HARRY!” Scorpius shouts, nearly bursting your eardrum.

“Scorp, for Merlin’s sake, don’t shout!” you say, wrapping your arms around his middle to urge him back to sitting. He stuffs one small fist in his mouth in what you know is a self-soothing gesture. Oh lord, you think to yourself, if the sugar doesn’t keep him up all night, the nightmares surely will.

Harry looks Scorpius dead in the eye before continuing in a high-pitched voice, “No way, Teddy tells Scorpius, even if it was the man with the hook, he can’t get in here the doors are locked!”

“Oh, yeah! The doors are locked!” Scorpius mumbles around his fist. Harry nods, but the firelight glinting off his glasses makes him look positively sinister.

“Yeah, Scorp, the doors are locked, calm down you big baby!” Teddy teases.

“Hey! You calm down, you big...jerk!” Scorpius fires back.

“Scorpius, what have I told you about calling people names?” you say, exasperated and ready for this whole charade to end. “Harry, is that the end of the story?”

“Oh no….ohhhhhh no, no,” Harry says, shaking his head and completely ignoring the unamused look on your face.

“You see,” he says, leaning in again and lowering his voice to a whisper. “When the two boys finally arrive home safe and sound, they step out of their car…”

“What…” Scorpius whispers back, fist firmly situated in his mouth.

“...they turn around to find….”

“Harry….” you say, warningly.

“A HOOK! HANGING FROM THE DOOR HANDLE!” Harry shouts.

What follows are possibly the most chaotic ten minutes of your entire life.

Scorpius shrieks and flails in your lap, overturning the bowl with the little conjured flame. The rug catches fire quickly.

Teddy starts chanting Harry’s name over and over and pointing at where the flames lick at the cushion he was just seated on.

You summon your wand, but Harry has his at the ready with a hastily muttered Aguamenti. The flames hiss as the water douses them, replacing the bright-hot fire with black smoke that has you all coughing into your sleeves.

You realize you’ve clutched Scorpius to your chest in a vice-like grip when he starts to pull at your sleeve and choke out, “Dad….dad! Let…me...go…”

“Sorry, Scorp...Ted, alright?”

“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be alright? That was wicked, Harry! Nice one, Scorp!”

You roll your eyes, despite your still-leaping heart and rapid breathing, and jump as the lights flicker back on. The boys both groan in disappointment, but Scorp has one fist clenched around your wrist and the other still stuffed between his lips.

“Alright...bedtime, pajamas...now!” you say, sternly. “If anyone has any nightmares, I’m sure Harry will be more than happy to sleep with you!”

Harry just grins at you like the insufferable bastard that he is.

“Next time, let’s just light some lamps and make a Lego dragon, yeah? Or better yet, fix the bl--fix the lights!” you hiss.

some things never change

AN: Short drabble where Scorbus take their daughter to her first day of primary school.

Title is because I was listening to the Frozen 2 soundtrack don’t cancel me

~~~~

"Come on daddy! Come on Papa, we're gonna be late!" Five year old Astoria marched through the corridors, her shiny black shoes making a clicking noise at every step. Ecstatic for her first day of school.

"We're coming dear." Albus assured his daughter, smiling softly at her enthusiasm and eagerness to take charge. Fitting for a now primary school student- which was an odd thing to say. It felt like just yesterday he was rocking newborn Tori to sleep.

Scorpius was by his side, looking more reluctant, clearly upset about her leaving too. Albus nudged him playfully and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.

"I'm gonna go colour, an' eat snack, an' have storytime an' make lots n' lots of friends!" She squealed joyfully as she listed each individual activity. " But I won't need to learn how to spell my name, because I already know how to!"

"Yes, but there will be other things you'll learn." Scorpius said.

"Just remember to-" Albus was cut off.

"Not talk about magic, I know." She rolled her eyes. They had been over this many times. They had picked a muggle primary school for their precocious daughter to prepare her with simple maths and writing before sending her off to Hogwarts.

Tori spun around, giggling in her smart blue dress and matching blue bows in her strawberry blonde hair. "This is Ms. Wilson's room!" She sang, pointing at the label above the door.

"That it is," Scorpius nodded. He was grinning, but Albus noticed how miserable his eyes were.

"You can meet her, but then you hafta go, okay?" Tori said seriously. She stepped on her tiptoes to open the door wide for her dads to squeeze in the classroom.

The classroom was a small, pastel painted room with several drawings decorating the walls. Toys, blocks, and little desks were scattered around, along with easels for painting, bookshelves and a purple rug near the teacher's desk. There were already a few children playing and chatting to one another.

"Everything is so small." He whispered to Scorpius, who chuckled fondly.

"Indeed."

"Hello!" Ms. Wilson said warmly. She was young with bright eyes and braided dark curls. She knelt down to be at near eye level with Tori. "What's your name, poppet?"

Tori suddenly grew very shy, looking at her dads for help. She tugged on Scorpius' trouser leg nervously, hoping he would introduce her instead.

"Go on, darling," Scorpius patted her shoulder.

"Astoria." She said, voice barely audible. Her green eyes went wide, then darted down to look at her shoes.

"What a lovely name." Ms. Wilson smiled, checking her name off the clipboard. "And you must be her dads?" She addressed them politely. "The Malfoy-Potters?"

"Yeah," Albus said, relaxing instantly. "Er, I'm Albus and this is my husband Scorpius."

"Yes, hello!" Scorpius waved. "Will she be okay here?" He looked incredibly anxious. "Because she's very clever but very shy, and she's a little...gifted in certain aspects and I just want to make sure-"

"She'll be just fine." Ms. Wilson said. She looked as though she was used to frantic parents.

"We best be off then. Tori, we'll pick you up at three. Be good, yeah?" Albus squatted down, kissing her cheek. Tori nodded. "Atta girl." Though she looked eager for them to leave and play with the other kids, she hugged him tightly.

"Bye daddy!" She turned to Scorpius, and gave him a hug too. "Bye papa!"

"Bye bye pumpkin." Scorpius' lip quivered.

"See you!" Tori skipped away to join a girl with curly hair by the dollhouse. “Hi, I’m Tori!” Noticing her dads were still there, she turned and frowned, huffing. "Shoo!"

"I've got it all taken care of." Ms. Wilson said.

Albus gave Ms. Wilson one last smile. "Cheers. Have a good day!" He turned to leave, but as he was nearing the door...he noticed he was alone. Frowning, he looked back. "Scorpius?"

Scorpius hadn't moved a muscle and only now noticed Albus addressing him when he cleared his throat once more. "Oh! Um. Yes." He reluctantly trailed after him, then paused. "If anything happens, please don't hesitate to call us on the telly phone Ms. Wilson." He looked back at the puzzled teacher. "Anything at all."

"C'mon Scorp." Albus practically was dragging him by the collar, which was an amusing sight since he was so short, and Scorpius was tall and lanky still.

They left the classroom, silently walking down the corridor once more.

"I don't know why I'm like this," Scorpius said glumly. "She won't be even gone the whole day."

"I know. I miss her too." Albus said. "She'll be fine though."

"It's all happening so fast. Our little one isn't so little and I'm not emotionally prepared for that. How will we cope when we send her off to Hogwarts?" He nibbled at his lip. "Soon she won't need us anymore, and I'll be an old man in St. Oswalds, yelling at youths and being miserable."

"Oi," Albus lightly shoved him. "First off, don't say that. Even when she's all grown up, maybe with her own family, she'll need us. You still need your dad sometimes. I still need my parents too. She won't magically turn seventeen and then throw us out."

"Yes but..."

"And, that won't be for a long while. She's only five, Scorpius. We'll get through this one step at a time."

"Well yes-"

"Furthermore, you're going to grow old and wrinkly with me, eh? We'll be wrinkly old prunes together." Albus laughed, as they stepped into the warm autumn sunlight. "I wouldn't worry too much, love."

"No, actually, I believe I'll still have smooth skin at 90." Scorpius teased. "Malfoys don't get wrinkles. You however, might be a bit wrinkly."

"You'll still love me even when I get wrinkly?" Albus pretended to look hurt.

"Let me think about that..." Scorpius leaned in to kiss him softly. "Yup." He grinned.

"You're impossibly cheeky." Albus huffed. "C'mon, let's go spend some time together before we pick her up. And before you go for your shift. "

"Ooh, there's a shuffleboarding center just around the corner. I've heard the muggles around here say it's fun. Perhaps we could try that."

"Good Lord, we are old."

“I Have a Secret”

(Scorbus)

—

“Damnit hands, stop shaking,” Scorpius quietly cursed himself as he pressed his forehead against the hardwood of his dorm door.

The poor boy had every right to be nervous.

He knew on the other side was none other than Albus Potter —his best friend— most likely sitting at his desk doing homework. It was a normal thing for him to be doing on a Tuesday night, a thing that Scorpius himself should have been doing. But he had problems that were far more serious than just Transfiguration homework.

After all, isn’t coming out to your best friend a big deal?

His jaw clenched tightly at the thought as he tried to steady his nerves, a shaky breath slipping out through his pale lips. Scorpius’ stomach was tied into knots, sickly thick knots that only seemed to get tighter and tighter the longer he avoided entering the room.

Yeah, especially when it’s your best friend that you’re madly in love with, he thought.

“Alright, alright, I’ve got this.” He blew a harsh exhale out of his lips and shook his hands out, reaching for the knob. “It’s just Al, it’s not like he—”

Scorpius couldn’t finish his sentence due to the scene he found in front of him when he pushed the door open. His throat instantly closed up and he did his best to ignore the heat stinging the tops of his ears.

Laid across his bed lazily —clad in nothing but a pair of black Hogwarts sweats and hair a disordered mess— Albus looked up from his book and flashed the blonde a smile. Scorpius did his best not to let his eyes drift down to Albus’ bare chest, internally cursing his friend for being so effortlessly beautiful.

What Scorpius didn’t know was that Albus had purposely wore this just to see if he could get some sort of reaction out of the blonde. He wanted to see if he could be the cause for a blush rising up to those pretty pale cheeks of his.

“Hey, Scorp. Where ya been?”

As his green eyes fully took in the other’s —quite obviously anxious— expression, he sat upright in his bed, instantly forgetting his ploy. Closing his book and sitting it down on his nightstand, he turned to face his friend.

“Are you alright?”

Scorpius nodded quickly, forcing a smile onto his lips as he shut the door with his foot. He placed a hand on his burning neck, tugging at the platinum hair on the nape of it nervously.

“Yeah, can I— Can I talk to you for a minute? I have a... secret that I need to tell you.” His voice cracked slightly as he said it, he hadn’t realized the tears threatening to spill from his eyes until now and he instantly blinked them away.

“Of course, come on,” Albus smiled warmly, patting the spot next to him on the bed.

His feet dragged over slowly and he landed down on top of the green comforter with a muffled thud. Hands clasped tightly together in his lap, he kept his eyes trained on the ground, trying to hide his anxiety.

What was I thinking? I can’t do this, he groaned to himself, chewing the inside of his cheek.

“Oi, Scorp, come on. What is it?” Albus asked, worry lacing every word. “You know you can tell me anything. I won’t judge.”

“But what if you do?” Scorpius mumbled softly, his gaze drifting up to Albus’ face. “What if I tell you a-and you decide you don’t want to be my friend anymore? What if you can’t stand to be around me and decide to leave me and—”

“Woah, calm down,” Albus interrupted, hand reaching out to grab Scorpius’ arm, “You’re my best friend. We’ve been inseparable for five years. When I say you can tell me anything, I mean it. I am never leaving you, okay?”

Just Albus’ simple touch was enough to calm the blonde boy’s nerves, his body quickly draining of all tension. He nodded slowly, swallowing down the lump in his throat as he turned his eyes away. There was no way in hell he would be able to say this while making eye contact with those beautiful emerald irises he loved so much.

“I’m gay.”

The room went quiet after the words slipped out, and Scorpius was immediately hit with a wave of raging regret. Albus’ hand still remained clasped around his arm, fingers now digging into the skin slightly.

Damnit. Damnit. Damnit.

This time, the blonde couldn’t blink back the tears that started slowly rolling down his heated cheeks. A choked chuckle weasled it’s way out of his throat as he shook his head, rising up onto his feet.

“Ah, just— just forget I said anything, yeah? I knew you wouldn’t take it well, so it’s fine, really. We can just act like—”

“Scorpius.”

At the sound of his full name, he allowed his grey eyes to finally meet Albus’ green ones. His breath hitched at the sight of a wide crooked grin tugging at the corners of the brunette’s lips.

“That’s fucking awesome, Scorp. Really, really fucking awesome,” Albus breathed out through a laugh. “I, uh— Me too. I mean, I’m gay too. I just didn’t want to tell you because I love you so much and I thought you would think I was disgusting if I—”

“You love me?”

Albus froze, a hot blush rushing to his cheeks as he finally let go of Scorpius’ arm. His heart stuttered inside of his chest as he stared up into stormy grey eyes, eyes that were currently holding so much emotion.

This whole time Scorpius had been the one that was absolutely stressing over the possibility of accidentally spilling his feelings, and it somehow ended up being Albus that had slipped up and confessed unintentionally. It caught both of them off guard far more than they would like to admit.

“Yeah, and I’m sorry if that’s weird and I’ll understand if you totally hate me now but I—”

Scorpius didn’t let him finish before he jumped on him, arms wrapping around his neck and lips pressing sloppily together. Albus fell back against the mattress, taking the blonde with him as he hesitantly wound his arms around his slim waist.

When Scorpius pulled back about a minute later he was a panting mess, lips tingling and platinum hair falling into his eyes. Albus wasn’t much better, messy curls splayed out every which way around his flushed face.

“I love you too,” Scorpius smiled before leaning in to attack Albus’ lips again. He smiled against his lips, complete and utter joy cascading through his entire body.

And suddenly, Scorpius didn’t have a secret anymore.

****Sneak Peak at Chapter 37 of Tip of My Tongue****

Aurelian Granger swooped his dragon across the bannister of the hospital corridor, heedless of the Healers dodging around the young, unaccompanied boy in the busy hospital. Hospitals were extremely boring, if you asked Aurey. Everyone was always sleeping. Mummy had been sleeping for ages, and Daddy was asleep when he last went into see him. Uncle Harry was sleeping too and hadn’t woken up even once while Aurey had visited him. Aunt Ginny was awake, but there was something wrong with her that meant she didn’t seem to know when Aurey was talking to her. She never answered any of his questions, and Aurey was beginning to think they were all playing a silly trick on him, trying to see how long it would take him to figure out it was a game.

He wanted to go home.

He loved his Gran, but he wanted to play with Mummy and he wanted to sleep in his bed and play with his toys in his room and he wanted to go back to school. He was sick of sitting around with no one to talk to when Scorpius wasn’t at the hospital. Teddy was about sometimes, but Aunty Andie seemed to think they’d be better off out of everyone’s way – or so she said – and so she hadn’t brought Teddy in to see Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny very often.

It was lonely playing by himself.

Maybe Daddy would be awake. He’d wanted Aurey to tell him the minute Mummy woke up. Probably so he could get cross with her again. He’d been very angry the last time they’d been in the same room, and the other adults had had to pull him away when he started yelling at Mummy while she slept.

When he rounded the corner, Aurelian looked over his shoulder and spied a man with long hair the same colour as Aurey’s and Scorp’s and Daddy’s. He was a tall, unfriendly looking man who carried a long stick though he didn’t seem to need it to keep his balance, and he wasn’t walking with a limp.

He was also following Aurey.

That much became obvious when Aurey took four right turns surrounding the main nurses’ station on the Spell Damage ward. Mummy always said that if you took four right turns and you still had a shadow, you were being followed. She also said that being followed was bad, and so without really thinking about it, Aurelian started to run. Mummy was busy with the healers, but Daddy would know what to do. Tearing down the corridor as fast as his little legs could carry him, Aurelian winced and looked over his shoulder when a nurse dropped a bedpan as he crashed into her hip before he bounced off and kept on running.

“Oi! Watch where you’re going!” she shouted after him, looking annoyed, but Aurelian didn’t stop.

Instead he ran until he could skid through the door and into Daddy’s room. Once he was inside, Aurey flung the door to Daddy’s room shut with a bang and turned the lock to keep anyone else from entering.

“Aurelian?” Daddy asked from behind him and Aurey looked over, breathing hard.

“Hi, Daddy,” he said, aiming for innocence as he raced over to the bed and clambered up even though Mrs Malfoy kept telling him not to because Daddy needed to rest.

“What’s got you running in here and locking the door, then?” Daddy asked, not seeming to mind as Aurelian clambered over the bed and plonked himself down on the far side of Daddy, farthest from the door, before he burrowed down beside Daddy and peeked out from under his arm.

“There was a man following me,” Aurelian admitted when he was well-enough hidden by Daddy’s blankets.

“What?” Daddy’s voice sharpened and he sat up abruptly. “Who?”

“I don’t know,” Aurey told him. “But he has long hair the same colour as yours, and he was carrying a big stick even though he doesn’t have a gimpy leg, and I took four right turns and he still kept following me, even when I went in circles. Mummy said that if I go in circles and someone is still behind me, I’m being followed, and that I should run. And I went right four times and he was still after me, so I ran and I locked myself in here, and please don’t let him get me, Daddy.”

Confessions Chapter 6

Hold onto your broomsticks kids, this ones good!

Pairings: Rose Weasley x Scorpius Malfoy, Albus Potter x OC

Warnings” Swearing, Rose falling on her ass a million times

COATW masterlist, for all your Confessions reading pleasures.

Em’s Masterlist

Chapter 6 ~ Sorcery and Slytherin

"Rose."

"Rooose."

"Rose!”

"Hmm,”

"ROSE!" Al yell-whispers at me.

"What?"

"Watch the seeker, he’s got good moves." Al whispers to me without turning his head.

He was right, the Slytherin seeker dives to the ground at an almost vertical angle then at the last second, he pulls hard on his broom handle sending him rocketing towards the bright blue sky.

Malfoy is out there too, barking orders, as the captain of the Slytherin team. Swooping out of the sky, he takes a speeding lap around the pitch, flashing his stupid grin at the other Slytherin fans out to cheer him on.

As his broomstick passes our tower, Malfoy slows his broom, screwing up his sweaty face, and pushing back his pale hair in confusion. His snake-eyes narrow into a glare, but he continues on, whooping back at his devoted fans.

Prick…

Al’s face drains of blood leaving it pale as his borrowed hair.

My stomach clenches and I shift nervously on the cold hard bench beneath me. Malfoy’s confusion terrified me, but I was not going to give up that easily.

"Let’s go," Al hisses to me, his tone panicked.

"No," I whisper under my breath. "We have worked way too hard for this." I refuse.

"But Rose, did you see him?" Al persists.

"I don’t care. I’m not scared of a fucking ferret, Potter. Unlike you," I whisper tauntingly. Maybe getting him to man up would cure his case of fraidy cat.

"Fine," he glares at me, huffing and crossing his arms. "We’ll say a while longer, but if anything happens it’s your fault, Weasley."

As soon as the Slytherins slink into their locker rooms, Al and I dash down the steps like children on Christmas morning.

After we finish tripping over each other’s feet in an attempt to get down the bloody stairs, Al positions me in front of the door to the Quidditch storage room with instructions to hex anyone that that tries to 'Invade H.Q' -his words not mine-

Minutes pass…

Come on Al, where are you?

The cloak brushes the ground as I pace in front of the door, impatient that one, we will miss dinner and two, that we will be caught heading back to the dorms.

I should have heard the soft foot falls behind me, I should have seen the long shadow fall across the rocky path as the sun set a fiery gold. I should have felt the presence of someone behind me, I should have listened for the ragged breathing of the intruder…

But I don’t …and I scream as the cloak catches on something and I am plowed over.

"Holy Fuck!" The idiot cursed

I tumble to the ground, rocks from the path dig into my head, my torso pinned beneath a wall of muscle, I squint through the sheer fabric, only to see a very confused person.

Wait, a very confused Malfoy…

Just my bloody fucking luck.

"What the-." his freshly showered mane flips out of his eyes to see the what exactly he had run into.

"Just who the hell do you think you are?" I wiggle under his weight. "You can’t just go around bulldozing people whenever you feel like it, Malfoy," I growl.

"Well I think you, whoever you are, should answer the first question yourself, love," he smirks. "And I did not knock you over on purpose, you’re the one that’s invisible."

"Let me up, you git." I hiss.

"No, not until I find out who you are." His hands manhandle my head until he finds the edge of the hood. He lifts the invisible material off my face and groans. "Weasley, I should have known."

"Let me up, Malfoy. This isn’t what it looks like," I insist.

He chides me, "Oh Weasley, I think I know exactly what you’re doing outside the Quidditch Pitch, after my Team’s practice, wearing an invisibly cloak." he cocks his head at me and raises his eyebrows.

Mother of dragons…I’m done for.

I feel my cheeks warm and I avoid his piercing gaze, which proves to be difficult as his face is inches from mine.

"You cheeky little spy, Weasley!" he gasped at me, like he was surprised I would do such a thing. He should know better when I have a family like I do.

"Whatcha’ going to do about it? Drag me to the headmistress’s office for breaking the rules?" I taunt, but his smirk only grows. He wouldn’t dare!

"Well, now that you mention it…"

Oh, shit. Think Rose! Think! What would James do to get out of this mess?

"Think about it Malfoy, is that what you really want? I’ll fight you the whole way because if I’m going down, you’re coming with me. You can say goodbye to Quidditch. " The blatant anger in my voice is overpowered by a lump in my throat.

Rose Weasley you will NOT cry in front of a Malfoy, I command myself

At the threat of being stripped of our privileges, Quidditch included, he caves. "Fine, you win." I breath a silent sigh of relief.

"Can you get off me now?" I plead.

"In a minute, Weasley I just wanted to let you know that-." The slamming of a door, followed by loud joking voices interrupts him, causing us to lock eyes. His team mates must be coming. Malfoy’s face fills with anxiety, probably wishing he wasn’t about to be caught on the ground with a half invisible female Weasley. Trust me, that’s not good for the Malfoy image.

"Weasley, go!" he whispers and rolls off me, "Hurry before they catch you." I don’t need to be told twice. I sprint around the nearest corner, tripping over the cloak in the process.

I catch my balance and press myself against the wall of the pitch, eavesdropping on Malfoy and his Quidditch mates.

"Oi Malfoy, that you?" questions a deep voice that could only belong to the Slytherin beater, Archie Goyle.

"Yeah, it’s me Arch," replies Malfoy.

"We thought you were out here with someone, didn’t we boys?" Goyle continues and the other Slytherin’s grumble in response.

"Nope just me mates," Malfoy persists.

"You sure?" Goyle sounds suspicious.

I peek around the corner and the last bits of sunlight reflect off their faces.

"Yep, I haven’t seen anyone, anyway it’s almost dinner we better be getting back to the castle," Malfoy changes the subject, turning on his heel. Heading back up the rocky path to Hogwarts. I breathe a deep sigh of relief when the rest start to follow. Sliding down the rough wood of the pitch till my bottom touches the prickly grass, I pull down the hood of the cloak and run my hands through my damp, messy curls.

The realization hits me like a pile of dragon dung.

Scorpious Hyperion Malfoy just saved my ass. Not only from McGonagall’s wrath but from the torment of his mates. He had every chance to turn me in or rat me out, but instead he let me go.

That was very unlike the Scorpius I knew, what the fucking hell am I going to do?

Okay, character development and some light flirting?!?!

I was so excited to post this chapter, cannot wait for y’all to see how Rose and Scorp progress...or regress?

Thank you so much for reading, please leave a note or drop me a comment if you loved it and want to see more!

Professors in Love (And a Baby Scorpius) - Chapter 7

Hope you guys like this one! I had a lot of fun writing it :^))

Chapter Links

***

Draco knew he had to leave the moment that Harry had looked at him like that. It had all seemed to good to be true, and he didn’t want to feel the sting of disappointment when Harry realized his mistake. Harry was too good for him, and he didn’t deserve someone like Draco Malfoy, who had been apart of the group responsible for the death of Harry’s loved ones.

Draco held Scorpius close to him as he went to sit down at the courtyard. Scorpius was trying to ask him why they had left with his limited vocabulary, and was confused as to why they stopped dancing.

Draco smoothed down Scorpius’ soft tuft of hair and kissed his forehead. Scorp giggled and put his hands on the sides of Draco’s face.

“Why you sad, Papa?” he asked him, lower lip sticking out in a pout. Draco gave him a weak smile, and he lifted a hand to wipe the tears from his own face.

“I’m alright, Scorp, Papa’s ok,” Scorpius nodded his head.

“Ok, Papa,” Scorpius smiled and fell into his father’s chest, hugging him. Draco wrapped his arms around the toddler and bit back a sob. He didn’t deserve a child like Scorpius, who was so good and pure, the opposite of what Draco felt he was.

He started when he heard footsteps, he looked up to see Theo and Ron in front of him.

“What the hell, Malfoy! How could you just bloody leave like that?” Ron said, stepping forward and glaring daggers at Draco. Theo huffed and held up a hand to stop Ron from saying any more.

“Draco,” Theo spoke to him calmly, “Explain,” Draco shook his head and raised his head to meet Theo and Ron’s gaze.

“Nothing is wrong, I saw that Scorpius was tired, that’s all,”

“Mate, you honestly can’t expect us to believe that” It was in that moment that Scorpius chose to let out an excited giggle, reaching to Theo. Traitor. Draco thought. Theo took Scorpius from Draco and held him.

“He doesn’t seem tired to me, Draco,”

“Uncle Feo!” Theo patted Scorpius’ head awkwardly, he never really was good with children.

“Theo, why are you here?”

“Draco, I came with Neville, you knew that, stop trying to change the subject. Tell us the truth,”

“I already did,” Ron groaned in frustration.

“I’m gonna go talk to Harry,” Ron said, “Nott, I’m gonna go find Harry, talk some sense into the git, will you?” Theo nodded and Draco rolled his eyes.

Theo waited until Ron entered the castle again and then turned to Draco.

“The truth, Draco,” Draco sighed and hung his head.

“I can’t lead him on,” Theo didn’t respond, urging him to continue, “He deserves far better than me, I couldn’t bear it if he r-” Draco stopped himself, he feared that he had revealed too much to Theo.

Theo looked down at Scorpius, thinking.

“You can’t tell Neville, nor Ron,” Draco told him.

“I won’t,” Theo assured, nodding his head slightly. “But the war is over, Draco, and Potter is well aware of that,” he leant down in front of Draco, passing Scorpius, who was now miraculously asleep, into his arms.

“He vouched for you at your trial too, if you haven’t forgotten,”

“It’s just his bloody hero complex, he would’ve done it for anyone,” Draco twirled one of Scorpius’ curls in his finger.

“Yet he only did it for you,” Draco sighed and shook his head again.

Theo sighed, “Well, when you get your head out of your arse and realize that Potter is arse over tit for you, tell him,”

“Tell him what?”

“Don’t play a fool, Draco, tell him you love him,” Draco’s head shot up but Theo had already left back to the castle, presumably in search of Neville.

***

“I’m such an idiot,” Harry was cuddled up with his two best friends on the couch of their flat. “I’ve ruined everything, he probably hates me,”

Hermione huffed, “No he does not, Harry. Even Ron can see the way you look at each other,”

“Oi!” Ron gauffed at them, a clear mock-rage set on his face. Harry and Hermione both chuckled, grinning. Harry’s smile faltered.

“If he liked me, why would he push me away?” Hermione gave him a pitying look, and tucked a dark curl behind his ear.

“Maybe he was scared,” Hermione told him.

“Of what?”

“Probably rejection,” Ron said. Hermione nodded in agreement.

“I wouldn’t say to forget him completely, but maybe it’s best to not push him to hard, let him work this out himself,” Harry looked up at her.

“But what if he doesn’t work it out? What if he never-” “You can’t keep thinking about the what-ifs, Harry, or else you won’t get anywhere,” Ron placed a hand on his shoulder, “Mate, you need to tell him how you feel. Then, he won’t be worried about you pushing him away,” Harry breathed deeply and leant back on the couch.

“Just don’t do anything rash, just let him know how you feel,”

“I just- I like him so much, and it hurts,” he frowned and shut his eyes. Ron and Hermione wrapped their arms around his shoulders, holding him close.

“We’ll figure it out Harry, we’re here for you,”

*** Harry knew he needed to clear his mind. He had changed into a t-shirt and jeans at the flat, and rather than going to his rooms in the castle, he went to the quidditch pitch. He grabbed a broom from the shed and walked onto the field.

He let out a relaxed breath as he kicked off, the cold air cooling him and blowing his hair out of his face. He turned when someone let out a soft noise behind him. Draco was there, still in his dress robes, his face illuminated by the moonlight.

“Draco I-”

“I’m sorry Harry I-” They both spoke at the same time. Harry smiled softly and laughed quietly. Draco returned the smile.

“I’m sorry, Harry, I didn’t mean to leave like that,” Harry smiled at Draco.

“It’s alright, though I guess you could make it up to me through a seeker’s game,”

“Is that a challenge, Potter?”

“I’ll give you a bet,” Draco cocked his head in confusion. Harry continued, “If I catch the snitch, you allow me to buy Scorpius anything he wants from Ron’s shop,” Draco opened his mouth to object but Harry cut him off, “And if you win, you get to pick your reward,”

“You’re shit at making bets, Potter,” Draco laughed softly, shaking his head. “But you’re on,”

Draco released the snitch that he had in his palm and they waited a couple minutes for it to fly out of reach, before they shot off. They both circled around the pitch slowly. A couple of minutes passed, and Draco caught sight of the snitch, he shot forward and Harry followed close behind.

Harry grinned, the exhilarating thrill of the game rushing through him. He and Draco flew fast, right next to each other. He turned to Draco and gave him a grin, winking. Draco stuttered and blushed, falling back a bit. Harry wooped and moved faster, leaning forward, hand outstretched to the tiny snitch, that was right in front of his hand. He was a couple feet above the ground, the grass a green blur beneath him. Draco was beside him in an instant, and he pushed Harry’s hand out of the way to stall him.

Harry’s broom wavered and he fell. He grabbed Draco’s robes and pulled him down with him. They landed in a tangle of arms and legs. Harry was ontop of Draco, arms braced next to the sides of his head. Harry’s eyes widened as he looked down at Draco, who was smiling up at him. His blond hair messily- yet somehow gracefully swooped into a halo that crowned his head, his grey eyes alive and cheeks flushed.

Before he knew what he was doing, Harry leaned down and pressed his lips to Draco’s. He felt Draco gasp beneath him and he deepened the kiss. Draco’s hands came up to cup his face and Harry could feel him grinning through the kiss. Harry laughed into his mouth and moved to kiss Draco’s neck, peppering kisses on his jawline.

“P-Potter, stop, or else I’ll look like a spotted owl,” Harry pulled back, still smiling at Draco. Draco looked up at Harry, then he looked down, he shook his head “I can’t- Harry this isn’t right, I don’t deserve-” Harry cut him off.

“You, Draco Malfoy, deserve the world, and I’m gonna prove it to you,”

Neither of them realized the small golden snitch, that was fluttering in Draco’s palm.

***

Don’t worry guys there are still more chapters to come I promise. Also, Drink game: take a shot every time Draco shakes his head (just kidding but omfg I’m sorry he literally shakes his head like six times lmao)

Lay Here In My Arms (9/14): A Worthwhile Fight

Pairing: Albus Potter/Scorpius Malfoy

Summary: Albus and Scorpius take an interesting path to love, and their fathers are there to reflect.

Read it on AO3

When Draco dropped Scorpius off for his first play-date with Al, he was worried. Al was a tiny bit older and quite a bit bigger than Scorp, but he needn’t have worried. Albus took Scorpius by the hand and they went to the playroom to use some of Albus’ dragons. Draco watched as his son walked away without so much as a goodbye, and felt quite sad.

Then Scorpius came running back and hugged his legs and asked if he could stay and play.

And that’s how Draco ended up setting up an elaborate menagerie for his son and Harry’s, while Harry played the fearsome ogre, who was defeated by two over-excited four year olds.

Eventually Draco didn’t have to stay, and sometimes Al would come over dragging a stuffed dragon and a blanket. Scorp liked Jamie well enough, and he was fascinated by little Lily, but Al was the only one who came over alone. And he was always polite to him and Astoria, and one day when he was eight Albus told Draco sternly that he was a brilliant dad, so he was a good man, and he shouldn’t listen to stupid people.

He said this with a black eye, and as Draco applied some bruise salve he wondered at a world where Harry Potter’s son would fight for him.

�� When Scorpius got used to the crazy world of Hogwarts (which was slightly more mental than the Burrow at Midsummer, but fairly close), he started to miss when it was just him and Al. Rose Weasley was cool, and she had great ideas, but now Al wanted to do everything with her. And that was fair, they were friends, and she was Al’s cousin, and he wasn’t jealous…

Or…or was he? Was he really jealous of someone who was literally related to Albus by blood? He couldn’t be, that was stupid.

But maybe he was envious. Maybe he wanted what Rose had (which she deserved): any of Al’s attention. He wanted Al to talk to him alone too, but he wasn’t Al’s cousin. He wasn’t Al’s family.

Which is why he was surprised, Christmas of first year, when he and Mum and Dad went to the Weasley’s for a Christmas party, and Al’s grandma gave him a package.

“Thank you, Mrs. Weasley,” he said, confused. Then he opened it, and saw a blue knitted sweater and a big, Snitch-gold ‘S’.

He turned, trying to figure out how to thank her, and saw that Dad was on his knees in front of Mrs. Weasley, tears streaming down his face, a green sweater in his hands.

That night Scorpius stood with Al and Rose and smiled for a picture with…well, with his family. Al held his hand and held Rose’s, and Scorp was delighted.

And that was all very well for two years. He and Rose and Al were thick as thieves for two years, and they got into detention and got plenty of Howlers and did brilliant projects. And Scorpius played Quidditch with Rose, and Albus was in charge of cheering, and they were family and friends and it was really all Scorpius wanted.

And then it all broke apart one January morning, because Scorpius woke up after Al for once and watched him sleepily pad around the dorm with his shirt off and though OH NO HELP.

Because how, how could he possibly be in love with Al? No no no, that would ruin everything! He’d been so happy as Al’s family, and Al had put him in his family tree project in History of Magic, and how could Al ever see him as…well, maybe a boyfriend?

Wasn’t that incest?

In desperation, he went and asked Rose, and Rose laughed her head off.

“Don’t be mean!” Scorpius wailed. “What if something’s fucked up in me?”

That stopped Rose short. “You’re not fucked up, Scorp. Else I am.”

“Are you in love with him—”

“Don’t finish that sentence,” Rose warned. “Or I’ll puke. But I fall in love with all my friends except you and Al, and that’s strange too. I don’t think you’ve ever seen Al as a brother or cousin or anything, have you?”

“Well, no,” Scorpius mumbled. “You’re like my sister but Al’s just…Al’s just important.”

“So you felt like he was important to you,” Rose prompted. “And you were friends, and now that’s developed. That’s normal.”

Scorpius put his head in his hands.

“I just saved you from thinking you’re incestuous!” Rose snapped. “Why are you still upset?”

“That means I might be in love with him, Rosie.”

“Er…fair point.”

It was finally time for the March Hogsmeade outing. Albus was jubilant; no detention this time, and he knew just who he was going to ask. He was confident, because really, he was fairly certain about his intended’s feelings, and he reciprocated and it was really grand.

He probably shouldn’t have asked Scorpius right after Herbology though. Right in front of their entire class.

In his defense, he was very, very sure that Scorp liked him back. He was not at all expecting Scorpius to start shouting.

“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN GO TO HOGSMEADE WITH YOU WE ALL WENT LAST TIME!”

“I KNOW!” Albus went along with it in his surprise. “BUT I WANT TO GO WITH YOU, JUST YOU, OKAY?”

“ARE YOU ANGRY AT ROSE?”

“NO! BUT I WANT TO GO ON A DATE WITH YOU!”

“REALLY?”

“YES. WILL YOU COME?”

“ABSOLUTELY!”

“GREAT. WHY ARE WE YELLING?”

“BECAUSE I YELL WHEN I DON’T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!”

Albus stepped forward, mindful of the crowd all of a sudden. He pulled Scorp into a hug and kissed his cheek. “I want to go on a date with you Scorp, okay? I like you. I thought you might like me too.”

“You knew?” Scorp blushed and buried his face against Albus’ shoulder.

“Were you trying to keep it a secret?” Albus smiled as Scorpius tried to burrow closer. “I don’t mind, love. I was really happy. I think we figured it out at the same time. It was after that last Quidditch game, right?”

“FOR MERLIN’S SAKE POTTER, IT WAS IN SEPTEMBER!” That was Rose, and Albus scowled at his cousin.

Then…

“Oh. Sorry, Scorp. Guess I was a bit slow. That’s on me though, you’re brilliant and I—”

Scorp shut him up by kissing him.

Harry looked up from the paper when the doorbell rang. “We expecting anyone, Ginny?”

“Al’s not due back until tomorrow,” Ginny frowned. Their twenty-year-old son had been travelling with Scorpius, looking for plants. Neville couldn’t leave the school anymore as Headmaster, so he sent the Herbology Professor and his geographer boyfriend (and the boyfriend’s ferret) out for new plants each summer.

But the doorbell rang twice close together, which was Al’s signature ring, and Harry got up. “Son?” he asked. Al was indeed standing on the doorstep, trying to smile. But his eyes were red-rimmed and he was trembling, his hands behind his back.

“Al? What happened?” Harry stared as Albus looked away from him. “Al?”

“Scorpius isn’t my boyfriend anymore,” Al said, voice catching on a sob.

“Oh no,” Ginny whispered. She’d joined them at the door. “Is that why you came home early?”

Albus nodded, then met their eyes again as he slowly raised his left hand to see a gold band with a sapphire dragon’s head. “He’s my fiancé,” he said, voice breaking into a laugh.

“That’s wonderful!” Harry said, his own voice breaking as he sagged with relief. He heard a soft chitter from the street as Ginny embraced Albus. “Oi so there you are, Scorpius! Come on up, now! You both nearly gave me a damn heart attack.

Scorpius stepped out of the shadows, Mad-Eye firmly around his neck. “Sorry, Harry and Ginny. But I thought it might be funny.”

Harry rolled his eyes and hugged his future son-in-law. “Well done, both of you,” he said gruffly. “I’m very pleased, Scorp, we both are.”

Scorpius leaned against him for a moment, and Harry was struck in that moment by how similar Scorp really was to his father.

When they were all inside, Ginny got down to business. “Right, are you getting married right away?”

“No,” Scorp and Al said at once.

“We don’t need to be like James,” Al explained. “Not that he did anything wrong, but we just…we want to wait. And we want a fancy wedding, so we need to save for that.”

“I think your parents might be able to help with that,” Harry said. Draco and Astoria were more than well-off now, thanks to Astoria’s success with architecture.

“Yeah, but we…we want to do it on our own, Harry.” Scorp held Al’s hand. “Besides, I’ve got nothing against long engagements, I just really, really wanted to ask Al to marry me. It felt right.”

Ginny’s eyes sparkled. “I think that’s lovely. Well, alright. When are you thinking?”

“If I get my map of Brazil finished this summer, I’ve got a shot at getting a mapping contract from the Ministry. That’ll give me more regular money, and Scorp has his professorship, so…maybe two years? Three?”

“Alright. If you two change your minds and want to do it earlier, we can help you out with money.”

“We’re not in a rush, Mum.” Albus snuggled against Scorpius. “Marriage…it’s grand, and it’s grand that we can have it, but we have the rest of our lives.”

Harry smiled. “You do.” And they would, because their families had fought for a world where his son could grow up and marry a Malfoy whenever he wanted (and whenever Scorp wanted, of course).

Looking back on all the work and pain to get to this point, it was worth it.

Cursed Child 24/06/17

Okay, I wasn't originally going to write a 'review' on cast two of Cursed Child, but I have lots of thoughts and feelings that need putting into words. Let me start off by saying that having seen the original cast a fair few times (and deeming them irreplaceable), I went into the Palace on Saturday with an extremely open mind and very little expectations. I think it's important for me to note that they're only five weeks in, and still in the early stages. It's not my intention to bash or criticise any of their performances, as I think they fully deserve the chance to settle in and make the characters their own. That said, here's a breakdown of my initial thoughts on the main cast, and how I personally think they compare to the originals so far:

Jamie Glover (Harry) - Like other people have mentioned, he plays Harry much less 'shouty' than Jamie P, or even Stuart. I'd describe his anger as more... growly? and simmering than shouty. There were certain scenes where I wished he would show a bit more passion or emotion, but overall he seems to be settling into the role really well. I definitely still think he needs more time to gel with Theo and create that believable angsty relationship, but he's definitely showing a lot of promise and I look forward to seeing where he takes Harry.

Rakie Ayola (Hermione) - I was nervous that Noma's strong presence as Hermione would be difficult to live up to, but Rakie plays Hermione so differently. She still has that strength about her, but is also very emotional and gentle. Especially in the first AU—where instead of being angry, she seems more like she's constantly on the edge of a nervous breakdown, which works really well. Her and Ron's relationship is also very sweet, as is her friendship with Harry. I like her a lot and think she's a very good fit for Hermione.

Thomas Aldridge (Ron) - I was a big fan of Paul's Ron, so again I was apprehensive to see what Thomas would be like in comparison. He definitely plays Ron very similarly to Paul, and is very funny and lovable. He got lots of laughs which was lovely. His relationship with Hermione is adorable as ever, and he has great chemistry with Rakie. Ron is in very capable hands from my point of view!

Emma Lowndes (Ginny) - I'm still quite undecided on my thoughts towards Emma as Ginny. There's no doubt that she's a very talented actress, but I feel like she still needs a little bit more time to understand Ginny, and find that balance between Gin's gentle motherly presence and her headstrong badass side. She was very sweet with Albus in the church scene, so I feel like she's already halfway there! I'm also very aware of the fact that her accent is quite posh in comparison to Ron's, which I think is to do with the fact that she's a northerner doing a southern accent. It'll be interesting to see how she evolves over time.

Theo Ancient (Albus) - There's no doubt that Theo is very different to Sam, which definitely isn't a bad thing, but took a little getting used to. I feel like he plays Albus a lot more angsty and emotional, especially when it came to the bedroom scene with Harry, and the torture scenes with Delphi. I would love to see Theo relax slightly, as he still seems to be holding back a bit and sometimes rushes his lines and stands a little stiffly. I think once he realises his potential and understands Albus more, he'll be amazing.

Samuel Blenkin (Scorpius) - Sam, oh Sam. I don't even know where to begin... but will start off by saying that I am completely and utterly blown away by his talent, and that you honestly wouldn't believe that he's only been playing this role for a short amount of time. I was a massive fan of Anto, so was worried that Scorpius would either fall into the wrong hands, or that nobody would come close to or compare to him. Enter Samuel. He's come along, fallen headfirst into his character, and completely made Scorp his own already. I honestly cannot praise him enough. He has the awkward quirks of Anthony, the serious gut wrenching emotion of James, and a childish humour and demeanour that is entirely Samuel. His comedic timing is completely on point, and the same goes for the more emotional scenes. I literally whispered "oh wow" after the library argument, it was completely heartbreaking. I'll stop gushing about Samuel now, but if you're unsure on whether to see the new cast or not... see it for him, he's incredible.

James Howard (Draco) - Even though I've seen the play a lot, I've never managed to see James' Draco before now, and didn't really know what to expect. He's amazing. He's got the Malfoy intensity down to a tee, and plays Draco exactly how I imagine him to be at 40. He's got an intimidating Lucius-like authority to him, but is also funny, emotional, and has a very calming? voice and presence. His chemistry with Samuel is fantastic, and they're really believable as father and son in their scenes together. From what I've seen so far, I'm definitely a big fan of James and his Draco.

Annabel Baldwin (Delphi) - I've been lucky enough to see her Delphi before, and honestly think she was born for this role. She's hilarious, and also terrifying when the time comes. I've got a lot of love for her and can't wait to see how she develops Delphi even further.

Other notable people include James Phoon, who makes an amazing Craig (and generally just looks like he's having the best time, which is lovely). Tom Mackley, who now has a lot more stage time, which I'm so happy to see as I think he's brilliant. April Hughes' completely amazing and utterly flirtatious Myrtle, Martin Johnston in a dress, Rupert Henderson's James, and Helen Aluko's ever amazing Rose G-W. Everyone is doing their characters so much justice, and I can only see them getting better and better.

A few notable things from Saturday's performance:

- I'm still not used to Scottish Polly Chapman

- "OI FLEUR, J'ADORE!!" - Tom M

- Draco held Scorpius' jaw in the second timeline as he said "There's more of her in there than I thought", and it was v emotional

- Sam and Theo were heartbreaking during the staircase ballet, they both looked close to tears and Scorp kept reaching out for Albus

- Harry holds Draco's wrist for a good 30 seconds in Harry's office after their deep chat

- Scorpius was literally hanging onto Albus for dear life during the Harry/Voldemort transfiguration

Stage door was amazing. They're all such lovely, wonderful people who took their time to properly speak to everyone (including Emma who was in a rush to catch her train). David Annen told me that before they all started, everyone had to do the sorting quiz and he thinks he was sorted into the wrong house. Rakie guessed that I'd seen the play a few times even though I'd only said hi. Apparently they can tell when someone's been a few times because we 'have a certain SD knowledge/presence' ... not sure what that says about me hahah. Samuel was adorable and completely flattered every time someone complimented his performance, he also said how he thinks they're all starting to gel as a unit and relax into their roles. Theo and James P were also really humble and lovely to speak to, not to mention everyone else. They're a really brilliant bunch of people.

I think I should probably end my ramble here, but if you get the chance, definitely go and give them a watch/your support! These are obviously all my personal opinions and first impressions, other people might completely disagree. Either way, I can't wait to watch it again in a few weeks (or months) and see how much further the cast has progressed. The play is in good hands guys.
